Increased mortality in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: report from the Stockholm Cohort-Study of Atrial Fibrillation (SCAF).
AIMS Whether paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PxAF) affects survival is poorly recognized. Results have been conflicting in the few previously published studies. To describe mortality in patients with PxAF and to identify risk factors amenable to treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS All patients (n=2824) treated for atrial fibrillation during 2002 at one of Scandinavia's largest hospitals were follo...
متن کاملStroke in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: report from the Stockholm Cohort of Atrial Fibrillation.
AIMS Knowledge about stroke risk in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PxAF) is limited. Although current guideline recommendations advocate the same treatment as in permanent atrial fibrillation (PermAF), most patients with PxAF do not receive prophylactic anticoagulation. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are differences in stroke risk between PxAF and PermAF. METHODS AND R...
متن کاملStroke prophylaxis in atrial fibrillation: who gets it and who does not? Report from the Stockholm Cohort-study on Atrial Fibrillation (SCAF-study).
AIMS Underuse of warfarin for stroke prophylaxis in atrial fibrillation (AF) is extensive and represents a major problem in clinical practice. To identify factors associated with warfarin treatment in eligible AF patients. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population consisted of all Swedish resident AF patients at the Stockholm South General Hospital during 2002 (n=2796). Medical records were ex...
متن کاملCardiovascular hospitalization as a surrogate endpoint for mortality in studies of atrial fibrillation: report from the Stockholm Cohort Study of Atrial Fibrillation.
AIMS Cardiovascular (CV)-related hospitalization has been used as a surrogate endpoint for mortality in recent treatment studies on atrial fibrillation (AF), but our understanding of the relationship between CV-related hospitalization and death is incomplete. We aimed to investigate whether CV-related hospitalization is an independent risk factor and suitable as a surrogate endpoint for death i...
متن کاملCanine model of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia.
Both autonomic nerve activity and electrical remodeling are important in atrial arrhythmogenesis. Therefore, dogs with sympathetic hyperinnervation, myocardial infarction (MI), and complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) may have a high incidence of atrial arrhythmias. We studied eight dogs (experimental group) with MI, CAVB, and sympathetic hyperinnervation induced either by nerve growth factor...
